Question

A rental car agency charges $240.00 per week plus $0.15 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for $381.00.

Answer 1

Answer: In a week you can travel 941 miles

Explanation:

$240+0.15m=$381

Subtract $240 on both sides:

$240-$240+0.15m=$381-$240

0.15m=$141

Divide 0.15 on both sides:

0.15m/0.15=141/0.15

m=941 miles
